Suggest Treatment For Cerebral Pasly

Hi, I am almost 61 years old and have had cerebral pasly since infancy. I learned to walk at about 4 years old. Infrequently now, maybe once or twice a week, my right leg quits working properly. I have tried to determine which muscles fail, but in essence, the last part of stepping forward onto it fails. I am still ambulatory, I just hobble until it goes away, usually in 5 or 10 minutes. I know that cerebral palsy is not a disease, it is brain damage which does not progress, so I am confused at temporarily losing such hard won control?
